Owen’s Lake, aie encouraging, and public confi¬

ore received from the latter mines. 
Okzuon.—T he latest news from Oregon comes

of the California telegraph, and thence telegraph¬

Accounts have become confused and contradic¬ 
tory, rendering it difficult to arrive at the correct 
conclusion of affairs. On the 25th nit., the liteat 
dates, the best statement that can be made from 
conflict ing accounts is, that on the 20 th the House 
passed a resolution inviting the Senate to meet in 
joint convention, to elect U. 8 . Senators. The 
Senate, although without a quorum, accepted, and 
went into convention with the House. After 
twenty ballots without choice, the joint conven¬ 
tion adjourned sine die, each branch of the Leg¬ 
islature returning to Ha separate organization. 
The House then adjourned tine die, on motion of 
Mr. Holbrook, by 17 to 13. 
At the time of the adjournment, the Senate was 
keeping op its organization by adjourning from 
time to time, without a quorum. The Clerk of the 
House accordingly transmitted the sine die reso¬ 
lution to the Senate, and that body laid it on the 
tabic. The Oregon State Constitution contains a 
clause which Bays: —"Neither House shall have 
the power to adjourn, without the consent of the 
other, for a longer period than three days.” 
The Senate refused to adjourn, and insisted that 
the adjournment of the House was without their 
consent aud was unconstitutional, while the mem¬ 
bers of the House claim that, there was no Senate 
to ask consent of, as the Senate had been organ¬ 
ized without, a quorum. Soon after the determi¬ 
nation of the Senate not to adjourn became known, 
although many members of the House had left for 
their homes, the Speaker convened all the mem 
bers that the Sergeant-at-Arms could drum up, 
and proceeded to do business for several hours, 
taking no notice of their previous adjournment. 
Many of the members who voted for the adjourn¬ 
ment, took part in the proceedings. After re¬ 
assembling, the House adopted a resolution ap 
pointing live members of the House to confer 
with the President of the Senate and the Gover¬ 
nor of the State, relative to devising some plan 
by which the organization of the Senate can be 
perfected. 
A later dispatch on the 2Gth ultimo, states that 
the sis absent Senators who had so far prevented 
the organization of the Senate, had returned to 
Salem, and propose taking their eeats. No ex 
planation is given of the political consequence oi 
this return, so the question now appears to be, 
whether the House was really adjourned sbic (Ur, 
so that the resolution cannot he renewed until the 
Constitutional period arrives. 
Japan. —The brig Orbitt arrived at Victoria on 
the l2tli, 31 days from Hogodadi, Japan. She 
went for a cargo of notions, but found the Japa¬ 
nese so unwilling to observe the treaty that she 
did not obtain a cargo. The captain states that 
Mexican dollars were at 50 per cent, discount, and 
other gold at the same rate. The French Minister 
at Jeddo had resigned, as his representations 
were nil unattended to in respect to the treaty. 
China. —There is little later news from China. 
A large British force had assembled, and it was 
rumored that the Chinese would make a great 
resistance, and a desperate fight was expected.

The investigation iuto the American Consulate

appears that the united profits of the Consul,

annum, or more than three times what they legiti¬

Thk Douglas and Breckenridge parties of Ore¬ 
gon, have each held conventions and nominated 
electoral tickets. The Breckenridge ticket is sb 
follows;— Deltizon Smith, James O’Meara, and 
Wni. Dogheritt. The Douglas ticket is—Wm. H. 
Farrar, Benjamin Harding, and Wm. Hoffman. 
At the meeting of the New York Breckenridge 
State Committee on the 9th inst., the Presidential 
Electors resigned, in order to unite the Democ¬ 
racy on the Union Electoral ticket. An address 
was adopted, which denounces the Albany Re¬ 
gency, and charges upon them the purpose, by 
refusing all compromise with the Breckenridge 
Committee, to give the State to Lincoln; attacks 
Douglas and his platform, but recommends tbe 
support of the T)ouglaa-BelI-fu 6 ion electoral ticket 
headed by Mr. Rodfield, in order to defeat Lincoln 
and throw tbe election into Congress, which, it is 
believed, would result in the choice of Breeken- 
ridge and Lane. A resolution was also adopted, 
advising a thorough organization in each Elec¬ 
toral and Assembly District. 
Tim Breckenridge candidates for Governor and 
Congressmen in Florida, are elected by about 1,- 
600 majority.

date for Governor, it is thought will have upward 
of 32,000 majority. The Legislature will stand as 
follows-.—Senate, 25 Republicans to 8 Democrats. 
House, 07 Republicans to 23 Democrats. The re¬ 
sult upon Representatives in Congress is not yet 
ascertained. 
Returns from 00 counties in Indiana, indicate 
that the Republican majority on the State ticket 
will reach 15,000. The Legislature will stand 
nearly as follows:—Senators holding over, H 
Democrats and 11 Republicans. New members, 
7 Democrats and 18 Republicans. Republican 
majority, 9. House, Republicans 58, and Demo¬ 
crats 42— giving tbe Republicans a majority of 
over 20 on joint ballot, which will secure the elec¬ 
tion of u Republican U. 8 . Senator. James A. 
Cravins, Democrat, in the 2d Congressional Dis¬ 
trict, is elected by 200 majority over Davis, Inde¬ 
pendent Whig. Holman, Democrat, 4th District, 
is re-elected by 400 majority, leaving the members 
of Congress the same aa in the present Congress. 
Election returns from Nebraska Territory come 
in slowly. The Democrats claim that their candi¬ 
date, Morron, is elected by 200 majority,—both

the last. 
An envoy from Rome, it is said, had arrived at 
Paris with the Pope’s determination to the effect 
that* if Franco does not interfere to prevent the 
fuither progress of the Piedmontese, he will 
leave Rome forthwith. 
The Paris correspondent of the London Daily 
News, says a council was held Thursday, at which 
it is understood the proposal from Gen. Goyon to 
augment the French army at Rome, to 20,000, and 
some say to put down Garibaldi, was discussed. 
It is to be feared there was a decision which will 
lead to a bloody war, and at the best put an end, 
for a long time, to all hope of the regeneration of 
Italy. Marshal Vuillunt leaves Paris to take com¬ 
mand of the army of Italy, and will speedily be 
followed by two divisions.

raising subsidies of all kinds of insurrectional 
war nniking.

residence of the French Consul under the pre¬ 
tence that there was concurrence between him

the French, and even discussion of any point 
whatever with the French commanders. 
It is reported that Garibaldi has withdrawn the 
command of the fleet from Admiral Fersaru. 
The repulse of the Garibaldlans at Campana is

As much interest has been occasioned by late 
events at Vera Cruz in connection with the move¬ 
ment of the Spanish fleet, the result of inquiries 
at proper sources warrants the assertion that 
there is not the slightest foundation for the state¬ 
ment widely published that Capt. Jaivis interfer¬ 
ed in the affair which took place some weeks ago 
between the captain of the Spanish brig Beren- 
guela and ihe .Taurez government, ncr did Capt. 
Jarvis send a note to the Spanish Commodoro 
condemning hia course, or act In any other dis¬ 
approving manner. The relations between these 
two officers were of the most cordial character, 
without reference to political questions, and Maj. 
Aincaraja, when coming to New Orleans on board 
the Pocahontas, was so gallantly treated that he 
expressed himself in the most complimentary 
terms towards the officers of the Navy. It is fur¬ 
ther reliably ascertained that the action of the 
Spanish Commodore was suspended, and his 
squadron withdrawn to Havana, in consequence 
of the pressing representations of the Spanish 
subjects in Vera Cruz, through the French Con¬ 
sul, acting Spanish Consul to the Captain General 
of Cuba. The bombardment, they stated, would 
not only destroy much of their property, but 
peril their lives. No further hostile domonstra 
tions will be made in the absence ol'advices from 
Madrid. It is also known that the commander of 
the Gulf Squadron is not left to his own discretion 
but that he will act under the advice of Minister 
McLane, in the event of the bombardment of Vera 
Cruz by the Spanish, and extend all possible pro¬ 
tection to American persons and property, includ¬ 
ing the landing of marines at Vera Cruz for tbut 
purpose. 
Information from Mexico shows that the Eng¬ 
lish Government contemplated an entire separa¬ 
tion of the Diplomatic relations with Miramon, if 
it has not done so already. Another proposition 
of its mediation, for tbe restoration of peace, has 
been rejected by the Liberal government. It is 
Btated that the Spanish Minister in Mexico has 
received the most urgent advice from the author¬ 
ities in Havana to treat that government with the 
greatest respect. 
Advices from Washington territory show that 
the American and British boundary commission

Favorable accounts have been received from 
the party engaged in digging wells in the desert, 
from San Bernardino to Fort Yuma. Three wells,

pleted. The last Legislature appropriated $5,000 
for digging wells on that route, with a view of 
shortening the overland route, if possible. 
The experiment of establishing a camel express

A Bevere thunder storm passed over the Central 
Valley portion of the State, accompanied with a

The overland emigration is arriving in consid¬ 
erable numbers. Stock in excellent condition. 
The principal part ofthe emigrants are from Illi¬ 
nois, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa. 
The activity in trade continues with a healthy 
and steady country demand, no arrival of impor¬

Loss OP tiik Steamship Connaught. — The 
steamship Connaught, from Galway, via. St Johns, 
sprung a leak on the Gth inst, and took fire the 
following morning, about 140 miles from Boston 
light. All her passengers and crew were saved 
by the brig Minnie Scheffer, and brought to Scitu- 
ate. Capt. Leiteh, of the Connaught, reports that 
on the 6 th inst, at 8 in the evening, 150 miles east 
of Boston, his ship sprung a leak in the engine- 
room. He succeeded in keeping it below the 
fires until four o’clock Sunday morning, when it 
gained rupidly, extinguishing the fires. At 9:30 
he discovered smoke issuing from the 8 ft stoke 
hole. Notwithstanding the utmost exertion, the 
fire gained, aud soon drove the cabin passengers 
on deck. Water and lire both gaining, boats were 
got ready. There was a heavy sea. Theiirstboat 
lowered wa 3 stove. Six others were launched 
successfully, and tilled with passengers. About 
12 o'clock the brigMinnie Scheffer saw our signal, 
and bore down about 7 in tbe evening, and took 
off the passengers. She had on hoard 50 cabin 
and 417 steerage passengers, and 154 crew. All 
were Bitved. The passengers saved nothing ex¬ 
cept the clothes in which they stood. The Con¬ 
naught was valued at £ 120,000 and was fully in¬
